Looks good on Firefox (WinXP).

Only thing I might change is the search box. It has a red background,
matching the red background of its surrounding element. Your search box
might stand out better (and therefore be used by more people) if it was a
different color. Perhaps a light grey, for example.

Nice work overall. Love use of color and the image as well!

Hi,

I echo Gale's thoughts, about the judicious but
delicious use of color (especially how it's echoed
through the text colors), of how the photo was put to
effective use (with a nice translucency under the
text), and about the search text box.  There are a
couple other things that popped up, of varying degrees
of importance.

On WinXP and in both FF 1.0.7 and IE 6, the yellow
box, containing RX FOR CHILD SURVIVAL doesn't
*quite* line up with the red box to its left.  Looks
like it's dropped by about 2px.

For some reason, the grey box summarizing the project
feels empty.  Actually, now that I look at it, the
whole right side of the page (with the exception of
the PBS bar at the top) feels a little empty.  You may
want to consider throwing a little left margin on the
contents of the grey and yellow boxes.

The project-specific links, just above the search
form, and the search form itself, might would look
better with a common right alignment, so that the r
of Newsletter is directly above the o of Go.  If
there's a way to easily line these up with the
contents of the grey and yellow boxes, it might bring
everything into a better sense of cohesion.

Take that for what it's worth.

Daniel
